The former governor declared that the declaration of the emergency rule was not a threat to Nigeria’s democracy.

The former Oyo State governor who spoke with newsmen at his Bodija, Ibadan residence on the occasion of Eld-Fitri, on Sunday, said that the President’s action was in order until the court says otherwise.

Oba Ladoja noted that there had been relative peace in Rivers State since the declaration of a state of emergency by President Tinubu.

It would be recalled that there was an unresolved political crisis between suspended Governor Siminalayi Fubara and some lawmakers said to be loyal to the FCT minister, Nyesom Wike, which threatened the peace of Rivers State.

Ladoja maintained that Tinubu would not have declared emergency Rule in Rivers if there was no need for it, saying it was to restore peace in the South-South State.

He urged Fubara and former Governor Wike to resolve their differences if their intention is to serve the state.

“The state of emergency in Rivers State is not a threat to democracy at all. The President has his reason for doing it. It is not a threat to democracy. It is a warning to other governors to sit tight.

“Now, there is relative peace in Rivers State. I believe everything will be stabilised in the next six months.

“It is now time for Wike and Fubara to sit down and talk and say what are we fighting for?

They should sit down and talk. They should use this period of emergency to settle their differences in the interest of the state. They should say, what are we fighting for? Why are we fighting?”
